Above: "Eco-Tec's Ecoparque El Zamorano, Honduras. Ecological House: Constructed with 8,000 bottles with composting toilets and a solar water heating system. The green roof can weigh 30 tons when wet and has been supported by the walls without any extra reinforcement. It is the first house in the world made from PET bottles without using cement in the walls."
Hi Lloyd et al.!
We have been following Lloyd's blog for quite some time. We've really enjoyed your publications ever since we first came across it on someone else's blog about a year ago. We've been devouring one book at a time. What a feast of books you've made!
Anyway, we've come across this today, and wondered if you knew about it. We thought it excellent way of using those pesky bottles instead of letting them end up in the ocean or landfill.

Thanks, and keep up the good work! We're really looking forward to seeing the Tiny Homes ;o).

What a wonderful idea....and ideas and to do it with throw away bottles. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight thinking of stuffs i could do with that way of building. thanks for posting this...great video.
A very indigenous way of house construction. This can promote that recycling plastic bottles is a very good way to obtain raw materials such as this.
That was a totally eco-friendly house! There’s no denying that the green house has lots of environmental benefits. To name a few: it can improve pest control, and can also regulate temperature and humidity in the house. Also, in a greenhouse, you can regulate the amount of water your plants receive. Therefore, neither flood nor drought will be an issue.
